I know what the GenSec is. But what about the SecGen?

An honorary title won through election.

I see then.
But other than that, do they have any influence over the WA?

Not as far as I'm aware.

Genuine question, when a region is liberated in a WA or SC resolution, what exactly happens to said region? I've voted and seen many of these come and go but never truthfully knows what happens.

There are two chambers in the World Assembly: the General Assembly and the Security Council. The General Assembly is concerned with international law binding member-nations. Liberations are exclusively the domain of the Security Council, which has its own thread for questions. Fortunately, this precise question was just answered there. The simple answer is that Liberations remove a Region’s password.

hey, just curious.


can i submit a proposal for a commendment of someone who deserves it?

or is that only for specific users to submit?

Wrong subforum. This belongs in the Security Council.

really? well, ok then.

Yeah, you might want to ask people over at the SC Q&A thread.

Edit: Nvm, you already did it.

Hope this is a good place to ask this. My partner has been playing the game for like a decade now and has recently gotten me into it and we've started our own region. We live together but do not share accounts, we have our own accounts. With this said, would I be flagged for using a second account in the world assembly if he were to join the world assembly and endorse me so I can become the region delegate?

I think this is probably not the place you should be asking this.

My answer is that you can only have one world assembly account per person. If you are two different people, with two different accounts, you can both be in the WA but if two of them are controlled by one player, that is not allowed.

The following section from the One-Stop Rules Shop is applicable to this:

Any WA nations operated from the same computer will be treated as multies. If you have family or roommates who want to be in the WA too, work it out with them. It is your responsibility to make sure you have resigned from the WA before someone else joins from your computer. There is no way for us to truly know how many people are on the other side of the connection.

If you and your partner use the same device to access NationStates, there could be a problem. For any further questions on this topic, I recommend that Moderation is a better place to ask.

I would like to ask a question about a specific rule of the General Assembly : Committees.

I would like to know what exactly constitutes as a 'measurable burden' on member nations. Would we have to explicitly make more than one mandate for members to make interactions, or the defined actions of the committee itself regarding member nations constitute implied clauses about member nations interacting with the committee in character?

To better understand my question, here is a link to my General Assembly draft. I would like to know whether this might be legal or not.

The traditional way that the rule is phrased is that member-nations must do more than merely filing paperwork with a committee. There must be some sort of positive burden aside from merely administrative tasks. Here is the binding precedent for that rule. Though I am only one-sixth of GenSec, and therefore cannot give an actual ruling, your draft does seem to be at least questionable in terms of the rule. As written, member-nations don’t have to do anything apart from allowing a committee to do its job; there’s no positive action. Even if not from a perspective of legality, from a perspective of drafting, it is better for member-nations to have some positive action that they are tasked to accomplish.
